    Steps and Information

    What is the purpose of this information?

    Traditionally, product activation has been through an activation key that an Organization distributed to all of its users. With the Subscription Entitlement Service (SES), product activation is managed by user sign in through the CONNECTION Client, which is installed on each machine that uses Bentley applications. 

    *Please note: At this time, not all Bentley applications are compatible with the Subscription Entitlement Service.  Support for the Subscription Entitlement Service  will be extended as new application versions are released.  Please check back as new updates of your applications become available.
